How to Move to Tennessee for Remote Work

Work-from-home scams have been around since the early 1900s, but they’ve become harder to spot in today’s digital world. Though you might think of work-from-home scams as typical ‘get rich quick’ schemes, scammers have pivoted to targeting individuals looking for real remote jobs.

 believes that 25-30% of the workforce will be working from home multiple days a week by the end of 2021.

At MakeMyMove, we closely monitor trends surrounding remote work, and Evan Hock, Co-Founder of MakeMyMove, believes that “with the increasing amount of people searching for remote work opportunities, it’s important workers know what signs to look for that might signify a potential remote job is really a scam.”

Below, you can see a brief history of typical work-from-home scams, learn about newer remote job scams, and uncover crucial red flags to help you avoid becoming a victim of cybercriminals.

Typical work-from-home scams offer great positions and pay but require little skill or experience.

As you’re browsing work-from-home opportunities,

 AARP lists these signs that a position is most likely fake

The advertisement claims no skills or experience are required

It claims to offer high pay for little or no work

A company promises that a business opportunity is surefire and will pay off quickly

You’re required to pay upfront for training, certifications, directories, or materials

Additional red flags of common work-from-home scams include:

You can’t find information about the company online

There are warnings about the company online

An email address without a clear company name

Above, we’ve listed common red flags to be aware of as you browse opportunities, but with the demand for remote work, scammers have gotten more complex.

In 2021, the FBI released a statement on increasing fake job scams

One way cybercriminals are implementing these remote job scams is pretending to be a legitimate company on online job boards.

 Here’s what this type of remote work scam looks like, according to the FBI

The scammer creates an email address or website similar to a legitimate company’s website (e.g. Facebook).

Applicants apply via a job board or directly on the spoofed company’s website.

The criminals reach out via email and conduct false interviews with applicants, usually via teleconferencing.

The applicant may talk to several different ‘departments’ during the interview process, including recruiters, talent acquisition, human resources, and more.

 after they offer a position, the scammers request personally identifiable information—like driver’s licenses, Social Security Numbers, bank information, etc.

This information is used to either take over an applicant’s accounts, open new financial accounts, or use the victim’s identity for another scam.

As the FBI mentions, “the cybercriminals executing this scam request the same information as legitimate employers, which can make it difficult to identify a hiring scam until it is too late.”

How can you tell if a remote work job LISTING is a scam?

Unlike more traditional work-from-home schemes, it can be harder to spot these new remote work scams. But there are still some similar things you can do to check the job listing:

Think twice about any listing with a lot of grammatical errors.

Look into the organization to see what reviews you can find.

Make sure the URL of the organization you’re applying to is actually the URL of the company.

Example: Make sure you’re applying to makemymove.com, NOT makemymovellc.com

If someone contacts you through a listing on a job site, check that it’s from a business email. Then check that the end of the business email is the correct URL.

For example: kate@makemymove.com not kate@makemymovebiz.com

How can you tell if a remote work job INTERVIEW is a scam?

Very legitimate-looking job postings on popular websites like ZipRecruiter and Indeed can still be scams.

So, if you’ve been offered an interview with a company, what can you do to make sure you aren’t scammed during the process?

Here are some tips we’ve pulled together from the FBI’s press release, along with reading several stories of people being scammed.

Check the interviewer’s email address and phone number.

When a career consultant went hunting for employment scams

, she found some of the business numbers listed by her contacts went straight to a generic computer-automated message. The business name was not listed, and there was no way to get to a live person.

And as we mentioned above, double-check that you’re emailing someone with a business address instead of a personal email.

How the interviewer conducts the interview can tell you how legitimate the job is.

One freelance editor was interviewed through an app called Telegram

, which she says “should have been her first red flag.” A Supply Chain Manager we spoke to took a voice interview for a fake position through the encrypted app WhatsApp.

 A person seeking a remote tech writing gig

 first became suspicious when his interview took place via text on Google Hangouts.

The FBI suggests you might be suspicious of an interview if you cannot talk to someone in-person or through a secure video call. Also, you might be wary of teleconference applications that only require an email address instead of a telephone number.

Don’t give sensitive personal information during the interview.

Your interview is going great. You’re nailing those questions. Then, they ask you for your credit card information, banking information, or other personal information to ‘verify’ who you are before proceeding with the process.

One Supply Chain Manager went through a series of interviews with a fake company. In the final interview, the company offered to outfit his home office (

) and requested his bank information to give him money for the new products. He quickly realized this had been a setup because they named his bank BEFORE he had told them the name. With that, he stopped the interview.

Be suspicious if they ask you to purchase home office equipment for the job.
